The Texas Election Frauds.

KFFORT OF THE DEFENSE To PROVE AN ALIBr-A
FATAL TELEGRAM.
special to the New York World from Austin
Tex, August Is, says: In the United States
Court yesterday, in the Washington County cleo
tion cases, seventeen witnesses testified for the
State. The testimony, while conflicting on many
points, is emphatic In showing that ballot-boxes
were destroyed by armed masked men. 1t was
shown that this band, numbering fifteen or twenty
men, was met on the road going to the polling
places, and the persons met by them were eau
toned to say nothing about their movements on
pain of death. Some OF the witnesses testified
that the defendants were aC the polling places
during the day armed with six-ShOoterS and that
they threatened to kill the witnesses for distrib-
uting voting the republican ticket. SO far none
of the witnesses have positively identified any OF
the defendants as being with the armed band
when the ballot-bOxes were destroyed The testi-
mony to-day was about as yesterday. showing the
destruction of the ballot-boxes. telegram from
the county Judge to Bolton, who was killed while
attacking ballot-box. was produced, and 1t
reads:
s'Things look blue. Get In your work at once"
This dispatch was sent during the afternoon on
the day Of the election, and is part OF the evi-
dence to show conspiracy to destroy the republi-
can boxes Several witnesses for the defense were
examined and their testimony tends to prove
alibis for some OF the defendants, and O:her evi-
dence to be introduced may exculpate all OF them.

How the Rebate ii Computed.
SECRETARY FAlRCHILD CORRECrs MIsUEDKRsrAND-

ING.
The attention OF Secretary Faircnild having
been called to the fact that \ misunderstanding
prevails among holders OF United States bonds as
to the terms upon which they can obtain prepay
ment OF interest," he stated that the rebate at the
rate OF per cent per annum provided for In the
circular OF August 3, 1887, is computed upon the
amount OF the interest to be prepaid and not upon
the principal OF the bond. AS an illustration, the
holder OF 500 600 ~ per cents making application
to-day for prepayment, would receive q check
based upon the following computation, viz: Two
quarters interest, $2 25OOO; rebate at per cent
I0r II days on SLIPS $O74; and for quarter and
days ON the remainder, So. SO; total rebate $71O
check dated August 20 1887, s., 242 80. An appli-
cation received yesterday would be computed on
the goth, hence the twelve days calculation as

FOOLISH STORY FROM SAN FRANCISCO CONTRA
DICTED.
The steamer st. Paul, which arrived at San Fran
cisco from Behring Sea yesterday, reported that
fears are expressed in Ounaaska for the safety OF
the United States revenue cutter Bear, Capt. Mac
lay, which left Ounalaska June 20 for the north to
look after the Arctic feet OF whalers, and has not
been heard OF since August 8, and that when the
cutter sailed she was leaking, and men had to be
kept at the pumps
superintendent Bennett, of the revenue cutter
service, said to-day that this report Is ridiculous
and added that the Bear was all right when she
sailed irom Ounalaska, and there could be no way
pumps afterward The statement in the Dispatch
that the men were seen at the pumps, he says, is
particularly nOnsensical. since all the pumping Is
done 0y steam and the discharge Is under the wafer
Had the pumps been in use it could not have been
known ashore. AS to their not hearing from the
Bear since she sailed, Mr.. Bennett says that they
did not expect to hear from her until her return,
probably in September or October.

HER QUIET LIFE ON THE AASSACHUsETTs COAST.
A telegram to the New York Herald from
Marion, Mass, August 18, says: Soon after Mrs
Cleveland came to this town General Greely said
she came for absolute rest and would spend her
time in a very quiet manner, preparing for the
season in washington After she had been here
but few days an invitation was received to quiet
dinner at the residence OF Mr.. A. w. NickerSOn, q
Boston millionaire, who bought the Great Hill
House. summer hotel near BY few years ago and
was accepted and also another to little tea party
and reception at the residence Of MI. j. c..
Navy. Then the Invitations began to come in
thick and fast and Mrs. Cleveland found that If
she accepted them She would not find the rest
which she most needed, and which was the sole
reason for her coming to this quiet little summer
resort. She finally concluded to give public re-
ception, which which was accordingly done, and after
OF any kind. Her daily life now is very simple
one. She rises early, and after breakfast takes
morning is usually spent at the studio OF Mrs.
Glider or in driving in her little turnout" with
her motner Tor companion: The family usually
dimes at the Old-fashioned New England hour OF
O'Clock, and the remainder OF the day is spent
indoors
WILL HER STAY BE LONG?
How long Is Mrs Cleveland to stay? is the ques-
t1on asked very frequently by the residents here.
The question is hard one to answer. 1t was gen.
orally understood when she first came that she
was to remain two weeks, but that time expired
some days ago, and she still remains and appears
70 be as much charmed as ever with Marion. Gen.
Greedy, who has been away for few days and
has just returned, Is very nOn-cOmmlttal on the
subject, but the opinion seems to be that Mrs.
social duties as mistress OF the White House will
permit, probably until the 1st OF next month. 1t
| Is now said that Gen. Greedy will accompany her
to Washington when She returns The Sippecan
House, the only hotel In town. is crowded with
guests and people arrive in crowds by every train
anxious TO get peep at the FIRST lady OF the
land"
